"Connie Francis again shows why she was queen of rock and roll in the late fifties and early sixties. She has shown her remarkable skill, not with her own great material, but with the songs of one of her contemporaries, Buddy Holly. She takes each song and puts the feelings in like she has always done, and put a fresh sound to classic music. From "Maybe, Baby" to "Prggy Sue" to "That'll Be the Day" she can still make it her own. Anyone who likes the music of the fifties will love this collection."

"I thought this CD was poor in every respect and would not recommend."
Connie Revives those great 50's & 60's songs!

"Entire cd contains Buddy's best hits and Connie handles them with her inimitable style & verve. Those golden vocal cords along with great guitar makes for an hour or so of listening pleasure."
A nice gift from connie for us...Congratulations!

"It was a very nice surprise to listen this album, first, because Connie's voice is much better than "The return concert" and "Where the hits are" and second,all songs sound fresh and very rythmic, specially: Oh,boy! "well all right", and you'll enjoy the sweet Connie's voice in "Every day" and the very rythmic "Heartbeat" In my personal oppinion, she should have recorded "No true love ways" instead "Love is strange" but really it's a great CD....There is Connie Francis for a long time!!!"

"Anyone who has been to see Connie in concert recently would be pleasantly suprised to hear how well she sounds on this, her most recently recording. The band is rocking. She even throws in a cute little threat to smack some girl right in the mouth on the Peggy Sue cover. I believe that Buddy Holly himself would find little to complain about in her renditions. There are no soaring vocals here - the songs themselves do not call for it. This cd can go around again & again and you'll still be singing along!"
